Inspiration

Years of offshoring have resulted in a decrease in operations management skills in the US.

Increasing trade tariff landscape is prompting companies to explore vertical integration.

New college graduates are increasingly interested in technologies like additive manufacturing, AI, Industry 4.0, and robotics.

These trends create difficulties for manufacturers seeking to fill traditional roles such as manufacturing and industrial engineers, as well as quality assurance professionals. Advanced technologies do not solve the core issues, so companies must build a solid foundation before investing in them to optimize returns.
